It has more absurd itieap and whimsicalities to the square inch than any other on the boards. To give it a little color, or rather to give those who look and listen to the comedy an occasional rest, some wonderful songs and dances are intro- duced In the museum hall the wonder of the nineteenth century, perpetual motion, that failed to arrive last Monday, will posi- lively be on exhibition this week. Reeds shadowgraphs and Almonte's diorama, with a new grand transformation scene and Anna zon march, will be there also. NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE. J. K. Emmet, the noted and inimitable comedian, will appear at the New Haven Opera House Thursday and Friday evenings as ''Fritz."
